Alice of Greece Does It to Keep Herself Fit. j The Princess Alice of Greece, whoj . J was the English Princess Alice of; Battenberg, has spent the past sum-jmer chopping down trees to keep; herself fit. The Princess Alice is 30, a cousin j of the queen of Spain. Shortly she; will take her children back to Athens ! for the winter season and give up felling trees to begin again her work j of encouraging the Greek women to j earn their own living by home sewing?the Princess Alice's own particular hobby. The two eldest little girls. Prin-j cess .Marguerite and Princess Theodora, 11 and 10, respectively, are as brown as their mother and as strong, j though they have not been chopping; down trees. They have been swim-; ming every day for an hour and a| half in the warm translucent water, of the Corfu channel. Prince An- j drew's wife herself is a fine, strong i swimmer now, but it has not been a long time since Sheldon Whitehouse, who was then secretary of j the American legation, pulled her out I of the water and saved her life when she had gone down three times. The villa of Mon Repos, the summer place of Prince Andrew and the Princes Alice, was the favorite country residence of the late King; George, who left it to his third son. but unfortunately he failed to leave' the means to keep it up. Prince Andrew is a colonel of a cavalry regiment?not a lucrative employment. Princess Alice also is! not rich, and the pair, who for roy-j alties are poor as church mice, have; four children, all girls, a sad pros- i pect these days when Europe is full! of royal girls and short of royal boys to marry them.?Corfu (Greece) j Correspondence to New York Sun.

Fi imber 49 SCIENCE IN PACKING BOXES. I Special Machine to Determine Avail- i ability of Timber. More than four and a half billion feet of lumber yearly is made into boxes in the United States, and the problem of lessening the great losses due to breakage of boxes carrying merchandise is one of importance. A specially designed testing machine is j now being used at the Forest Prod- i ucts laboratory in Wisconsin in the j attempt to determine the best kinds of boxes for given service and the woods best suited for box making. A hexagonal drum with 3 1-2 foot sides lined with thin sheets of steel and pieces of scantling bolted to the ; end cause the boxes placed inside to \ be raised and dropped back as the j drum is rotated. The fall is regarded as an imitation of the average hand- j ling in transportation. The test boxes are filled with cans containing water and a careful record is made of the number of falls required to break up each box thus loaded and of the manner in which it fails. From data; yielded by the tests already made, box woods have been classified in three groups. Like a Sleiglibell. Yon Yonson, a citizen of a Wisconsin town, rushed into the village store one night just before closing time. Yon was hatless, coatless, and breathless, and as he dashed in he dropped on his knees and begged the storekeeper: "Carl, Carl, hide me, hide me! The sheriff's after me!" "I've no place to* hide you here, i Yon," answered the storekeeper. "You moost, you moost!" screamed Yon. "Crawl into that gunnysack then." He was no more than hidden when i in ran the sheriff. "Seen Yon?" he questioned. "Can't see him nowhere," replied the other, truthfully. But the sheriff wasn't satisfied and he went nosing round. Soon he spotted the gunnysack. "What's in here?" "Oh, just some old harness and sleighbells." The sheriff gave the sack an awful kick. "Yingle, yingle, yingle," moaned Yon.?Philadelphia Ledger.

Little Reason to Apprehend Para-j sites in Their Flesh. m Parasitic worms in fish often give, such concern that over sensitive and uninformed individuals acquire a strong aversion for species that has j been known to be wormy. in a circular of the United States bureau of fisheries, Prof. Edwin Linton and Dr. C. W. Stiles call attention to the i fact that no species of animal is free from parasites, and probably no in-j dividual animal is long without them, j The wormy butterfish of which com-j plaint has been made to the New | York health department are quite . harmless. Investigation has shown i these parasites to be nematodes (round worms or thread worms) of { species never found alive in man,: and while these worms are very com- i < mon in the stomach and its append-11 ages in most fishes, they appeared |1 in the flesh in only four butterfish |, out of 6,000 examined, and each of < these four fishes had but one worm, j 1 ( i The flesh of most marine food fishes is notably free from parasites. Un- j, like the trichniae of pork, these < thread worms?even uncooked?have | j never been known to infect a human ] being and, unlike the insect larvae or maggots that develop in decaying j i meat, the presence or nematodes sini | active is an indication of the com- j1 parative freshness and good quality j, of the fish. To condemn the butterfish on account of these parasites; cannot be justified on grounds of public health. If this fish is thrown; out, consistency would demand that. all other fishes be rejected as well |1 as fowls, game, beef, mutton, pork, |1 etc., as all have parasites. | < i Origin of the Curfew. < A note by Ruskin Butterfield re- ' minds us that although Shakespeare i speaks of "the curfew bell" and Mil- ] j ton of "the far-off curfew sound," j: Chaucer more correctly refers toj "corfew tyme," as curfew was orig-'; inally an appliance for covering theM fire. There are examples still in ex-r istence, for instance, in the Hastings! ( I museum; they look like large tea: I cosies in metal. They served, as! j moderns use fireguards, to prevent; I sparks setting the house on fire, and,; j the housewife heaped the embers to-1J i gether at night and placed the curfew! i ! over them to lessen the combination j' ! and in the morning save the trouble | of lighting the fire again.?London !
